Edited 2 months agoI have to say that i've being playing this exact release, and it never skipped, even without cleaning it with my HumminGuru.
Yes, the sound is not amazing, but it is enjoyable. Side A is lacking some bass. Side B is OK, minus B6 - Violas And Lupitas that has a light distortion. 5 stars for being one of the best 2022's albums. -
-
-
This is the poorest quality record in my collection. After testing 3 different copies on multiple turntables, they all suffer from awful skips and distortion. Great music, but man this release totally SUCKS!
-
Just got mine from innersleeve and very impressed. Fortunately I didn't experience any of the skips that have been mentioned on Saltwater. It's clear throughout, and it just bangs. So glad I got this one! -
Bought this on release. It played horribly. I cleaned it. It still played horribly. I cleaned it again, and put it away. Just played without a single issue(Saltwater included).
Leave it in a dark room for a few months and see what happens 🤔😃 -
I had two small skips during Saltwater (at nouveau riche and handsome figures) but after playing those parts a few times it stopped skipping. So based on the reviews here there is definitely a QC issue
-
I thought I was getting this one, but it just has the same barcode as the one with the CD.
I got 2 copies of the one with the CD, and BOTH kept skipping on "Saltwater."
Then I got this one (key identifier: without the CD), and... no skips, no pops that aren't part of Mouse's sample. This pressing is a good one. -
-
Saltwater skips violently. Seems like a pressing issue. Getting a refund. I have a pro-ject turntable and my needle is new. It is definetely a pressing issue as all the replacement copies I had skipped at the same place
